One Year Later

[itstime]

I got up this morning earlier then normal. I could barely see the sun raising in the distance. The sky was starting to turn that pinkish orange color. I always loved t watch the sunrise, but like most teenagers, I normally slept through it. Normally when I wake up, I would go downstairs and try to eat some food and help my brother around the house before school started. Today was different though. Today marked 1 year since my father had died of an unknown disease leaving me to go live with my oldest brother. My mother had died several years before but I never really got to no her that well. I was really attached to my dad. He taught me how to do basically everything I know.

I walked downstairs and I didn't see my brother so I guessed that he was still sleeping. Normally he loved to make me a meal but I just wanted to get out of the house for some reason, so I tried to make some myself. I looked in the fridge and found nothing but fish, shrimp, more fish, clamps, and (no shocker here) more fish. Sometimes I just got sick of being the "fishing district." I left a note for my brother saying that I had gone out for a walk. I needed some time alone.

I walked outside and the sun blasted in my face. I always hated it when one minute it was kind of dark and the next minute it was bright. It just annoyed my eyes. I was walking for what seemed like hours just thinking to myself. Thinking about my dad, thinking about the past year, thinking about being alone. I finally reached the ocean after wondering a little more. I looked out into the seas. I always wished I could just leave Panem, and go and try start new somewhere else. I sat down and just zoned out. Then I though I heard something behind me.
